One of the middle rank riders lifted the bike back from his crash out in the dark by lifting the front end and pushing it backwards. It was on the TV so there must be a still of this riders magnificent effort to get the machine back to the pits.

Seen before but one of my favorites/best pics, Phil already a multiple World Champ here at Snett in 1971, scruffy ripped leathers multiple "dogends" around the bike & Madeleine in the "Hotpants & knee length boots" & with the rural aspect of Snetterton going off into the distance, how differant things are now, can you see the Rossis/Stoners being seen like this now?

Definitely a very unusual and atmospheric pic Graham.....when I saw the thread title I thought we'd be expected to show off our best action pic with good sharpness, proper panning/backroung blurring effect and nice rider attitude, but based upon the example by Julian Ryder I think we're more after "emotional" type of pics....and yours fits well the requirements

Based upon the above, I thought I would offer the following...taken at the first ever international meeting I went to at Magny-Cours back in 1975. ( and yes, seen before on the forum a long time ago )

A very dejected and miserable looking Patrick Pons, at an early stage of his career, walking back to the pits on the muddy trackside after having thrown it away in the wet while leading the 250 race - which was a sort of habit of his at the time....

Was Mary Quant wearing Luton Boys Black and White Premier 'hat' that day as a swap?

'Two Smokers' perhaps they could have weaned the Yamaha off the 'nails' before it became terminal.

See the Dunstall twin discs on the Yam, had then on my 750 BSA.

Must have been around harvest time by the look of the wheat field at the back. Slipstreaming a combine down the Norwich Straight brings back memories.

'Caption Contest' here.

What is Phil saying to Madeleine?

How about

Phil says.

‘I just seen the advert at Corams for John Player number 10, gone up to 1/6d for twenty, pick those dog ends up there’s another couple of drags on each. Money don’t grow on trees’

At least they removed the petrol tank out of harms way. Phil says what he always says "Say Sex"Don't know what the Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad look a like reply could possibly be !Just been watching the pre- pratice for the new Moto 3 class in Borneo looks good to me By joeninety at 2011-09-27

Although landscape photography was mainly my thing, I did dabble with bikes for a brief period.This is my favourite and was taken at Aberdare Park in the early eighties. It is of Barrie Middleton, who for many years held the outright lap record there. I can't remember the name of the other rider, but he was identified by the forum when I last posted it. The good old days when proper racing bikes ruled the roost! (I went there this year and, sad to say, it was all road-derived machinery one of which bagged a new outright lap record).

Nice pic Barry looks like two completely different lines through that corner.

Yes, that is a brilliant shot of Alan Carter, Graham and I am sure if Tony McDonald the publisher had known about it he would have asked you if he could have used it. Only colour used was on the front and rear page I think though. I had a few in it that were originally in colour and received a credit and a free copy of the book.

I was taking a few pics on the inside of Redgate Lodge when I noticed out the corner of my eye a bike coming over the start and finish blowing smoke as I guess a seal or something had gone so without thinking I just started panning him, as I could not warn him or anything and sure enough as soon as he turned in the back started to go. Phil Usher RG500 Suzuki. Its part of a series of shots that includes several other riders going down on the same oil including Phil Henderson. All uninjured.

I remember seeing this one in Motorcycle Racing mag @ the time in readers pics, think it won Jim? great shot.

Lots going on in this shot from Snetterton 1975/76?Photo Copyrighted to Graham Etheridge.

I quite agree Graham! For me this picture oozes atmosphere and takes me right back to racing around that time. The body language of every person in the shot - even those in the far distance, speaks volumes. You can pretty much guess what everyone is saying and thinking, having been there ourselves. I'm surprised no one has taken the bait for a "WWW" on this one. I remember the three riders (I think) from the last time it was posted, so I'll not spoil it for others who may want to take a punt. Exquisite !
